"That way, we have votes banked as we head into Election Day, and we’re not playing catchup on Nov. 5 with the Democrats," she said.
"We need to be doing legal ballot harvesting – something that has never been done by the RNC, but I can promise you will be a huge part of what we’re planning to do," Lara Trump told the Examiner. "And then come Election Day, and you’ll see that, I think, it’s not just about having poll watchers. It’s about having trained poll watchers and lawyers at locations around the country as necessary. And these are people who will be trained and able to physically count how many ballots are coming in. And how many ballots are going out."
